Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Distinctive styling, V6 power in GT trim, easy-to-use convertible top, minimal wind buffeting with the top down.
Cons
- Uninspired interior design, intolerable rear seats, side airbags and antilock brakes are available only on GTS model.
What’s new
Revised exterior paint and top colors and a seatbelt reminder are the only changes for this year.
Edmunds says
A fun drop top, but those seeking real performance should look elsewhere.

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS 2dr Convertible (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
I got the Eclipse for my first car with 150k for around 2k. First off, it's loud since it's a spyder. it interior and exterior are ok for a sports car of those years. reliability is awesome since its at almost 200k now. its fun and very stiff ride, you will feel all the bumps. You will also feel body roll and over steer when going around corner's fast.
The main problems I have with this … car is 1 it's FWD which I'm not fond of, and 2 it's hard to find performance parts for.
Great, reliable daily driver.

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GT 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
Bought this used in 2009 with 83k miles on it. Has 142k now & never a minutes trouble out of it. No unexpected repairs just general maintenance, Never once failed me.
UPDATE * this car was totaled in a wreak in Sep 2017, it had 170k miles on it and all I had replaced was the MAF, was a great car right up till the end, I now have a 2009 Spider, here’s hoping for the same level of … dependability
Doesn't handle like a sports car

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
The design is very good. Convertible top operation is easy and quick. Its handling however leaves a lot to be desired. It is not very responsive especially for a sporty V6. Its ride is acceptable for a sporty car. The turning radius is terrible. Large trucks have better turning capabilities. The visibility is also very poor with the top up. Given these two factors, backing out of … a parking space is always a challenge.
Great Daily Driver

2004 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 5M)
I bought this car to go 70 miles each way to work in Northern NJ. I wanted a convertible and I didnt need 350Z performance. I wanted good gas mileage and a car that I could put gas in, change the oil periodically and otherwise forget. I am 63 so a lot of other cars were out. This car has been a very pleasant surprise. I have had no problems with it and it has been fun to drive … even in the worst traffic with the worst drivers on the planet. It has decent pickup (GTS 5 Spd) and decent handling. I bought it two years old with 20,000 miles and it came used with a better warranty than almost all US cars come with new. The Eclipse Spyder is a great car if youre looking for a fun convertible to drive that doesnt need a lot of attention.
